Dead!
Darkseid was dead!
Seeing this scene, the members of the Justice League were instantly filled with excitement.
That despair-inducing, seemingly invincible supreme demon king had finally been killed by Alex!
As expected of Alex—he never disappointed!
"So great!"
Even Superman couldn't help nodding repeatedly.
However, neither the Justice League members nor Superman had time to come over and catch up with Alex.
Because at this very moment, they were still fighting with all their might against the Parademons that continued to pour through in endless waves.
Those densely packed Parademons were still a massive problem.
Boom!
Alex didn't waste any words either. He lifted his head, glanced at the Parademons that nearly blotted out the sky, then shot straight up into the air and charged toward them head-on.
This time, his task wasn't just to eliminate Darkseid—it also included wiping out all these Parademons.
Boom boom boom!
Boom boom boom!
As Alex ascended, every Parademon within several hundred meters around him exploded one after another, like bloody fireworks blooming in the sky.
There was an eerie kind of beauty to it.
"Alex!"
"As expected, in the end it still has to be Alex!"
Batman's spirits immediately lifted.
The tightly furrowed brow beneath his cowl finally relaxed.
Alex's efficiency was simply absurd.
Boom!
Boom boom boom!
The other Justice League members also saw it clearly.
Wherever Alex flew, the Parademons detonated as if under some kind of curse.
No exceptions.
The scene was downright bizarre.
The sky above Metropolis, once completely packed with Parademons, directly formed a vacuum zone around Alex!
Who were they even supposed to complain to about this?
In just this short span of time, the number of Parademons Alex had killed already exceeded the total kills of everyone else combined!
"Diana!"
With his mind finally at ease, Batman thought for a moment and made a decision.
He immediately flew over to Wonder Woman.
"What is it, Bruce?"
Wonder Woman cut down a Parademon with a sword strike, then turned to look at Batman seriously.
"This place is fine with Alex alone. We have more important things to do!"
Batman glanced up at the enormous portal in the sky and said in a deep voice.
Wonder Woman instantly understood what Batman meant.
She nodded as well. "That's right. If we don't close the portal, killing Parademons is meaningless."
Crackle!
A bolt of lightning flashed, and the Flash appeared beside them.
"We have to destroy the portal!"
"Leave this place to Alex alone?"
Aquaman's voice sounded over the comms.
"Guys, what use are we here anyway?"
Cyborg Victor also chimed in. "The Parademons we take out don't even add up to a fraction of Alex's kills. Staying here doesn't mean much."
"Bruce is right. We must shut down the portal as soon as possible. This place—leave it to Alex!"
The Justice League quickly reached a consensus.
They stopped focusing on killing Parademons and rapidly withdrew from the battlefield, heading off to find a way to close the portal.
"Having reliable teammates really does make things a lot simpler."
High in the air, as Alex slaughtered Parademons, he couldn't help nodding inwardly.
Sure, killing these Parademons was like mowing down weeds for him.
But who knew how many there really were?
Who knew how long he'd have to keep killing?
Closing the portal sooner meant finishing the mission sooner—naturally something Alex was happy to see.
Boom boom boom!
Bang bang bang!
After seeing the Justice League head off to handle that task, Alex focused entirely on killing Parademons.
For a time, it was nothing short of a bloodbath—corpses piling into literal mountains of flesh.
It was horrifying to behold.
No one knew how long it lasted.
But the remains of the Parademons Alex slaughtered had completely blanketed the streets below.
As if the city had been painted over in blood.
Buzz!
At last, the gigantic portal in the sky shut down.
The endless stream of Parademons was finally cut off.
"Then… let's end this!"
Alex's spirits lifted. He continued flying back and forth through the sky, relentlessly sweeping through the remaining Parademons.
Boom boom boom!
The sound of bodies exploding rang out again and again.
Alex didn't know how many laps he made around the battlefield, but as he did, the number of Parademons kept shrinking—fewer and fewer—
Until they were completely gone.
At that moment—
The entire world erupted.
In every city, every corner of the globe, all the people watching from their televisions burst into cheers.
Some hugged each other tightly, others cried tears of joy.
"So great! So great! All the Parademons are gone!"
"Alex saved Metropolis! Alex saved the world!"
"Alex is our hero! Alex saved us!"
Similar voices echoed across every corner of the planet.
"This is amazing—Alex really did it!"
"We won! Humanity won!"
"Alex protected the Earth!"
Batman, Wonder Woman, Aquaman, and the rest of the Justice League all smiled with heartfelt relief.
At this moment—
Whether it was Batman, who had once been utterly dominated by Alex, or Wonder Woman, whose homeland Alex had once looted, or the Flash, who had once been captured by Alex—
No matter what their past opinions of him had been, they were all profoundly grateful that their world had Alex.
Boom!
And under the gaze of countless eyes, Alex's figure blurred.
In an instant, he vanished.
Gone from everyone's sight. Gone from every television screen.
Yet even so—
No one would ever forget that heroic figure.
Without a doubt, at this moment, Alex had ignited the entire world.
But Alex himself didn't care in the slightest about the massive shock he had caused.
At the first opportunity, he stepped onto his surfboard and returned to his apartment.
Immediately, he entered the system interface.
[Mission completed. Congratulations to the host for obtaining 30,000 Origin Points!]
Looking at the prompt on the panel, a smile of excitement appeared on Alex's face.
Thirty thousand Origin Points credited!
Not bad. Very nice.
This mission's reward could be said to be the most generous ever.
Darkseid truly lived up to his name.
He had contributed a massive amount of Origin Points to Alex in one go.
Thanks for your generosity, Darkseid!
[Detected remaining Origin Points. Would you like to use them immediately for enhancement?]
The system prompt sounded once more.
Was there even anything to hesitate about?
"Enhance!"
